I have 2 questions.
I am trying to write a stored procedure to update a table. I am trying
to pass a variable that represents the name of the column/field and
another for the value that I am changing.
For example:
@FieldName VARCHAR(100)
@FieldValue VARCHAR(100)
AS
UPDATE tblTHETABLE
SET @FieldName = @FieldValue
First is it possible to use a variable as the column/field name? If
so, how do I go about it?
Also, it would be nice if I could have the @FieldName and @FieldValue
variables as arrays. Is that possible?
Thank-you for any assistance

The short answer is that it's possible, but probably not advisable. The
first link should help explain why; the second covers arrays: http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html

Anything is possible, but what's the point? Why not construct the
SQL statements in client code instead?
If you really want to know how to do it, I have an article on my web
site. There you also learn why you should not do it. http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html.

Hi,
In the attached example, I do understand that the references are not changed
if an array is passed by Val. What I do not understand is the result of line
99 (If one can find this by line number) which is the last line of the
following sub routine:
' procedure modifies elements of array and assigns
' new reference (note ByVal)
Sub FirstDouble(ByVal array As Integer())
Dim i As Integer
